At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals across Farmington Hills, Michigan, and the neighboring southwest Oakland County communities in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. A city built mostly between 1955 and 1990 produces a steady stream of kitchen and basement work, roof tear-offs across the colonial subdivisions, and window and siding replacement; office conversions along Northwestern Highway and construction on the Twelve Mile and Haggerty corridors fill in the rest.
What you pay turns on container size, the weight and makeup of your debris, how long the container stays, and the charges at the disposal site that receives it. Below you will find our ranges, the city permit that applies if any part of the container reaches the road, how Farmington Hills defines the material in the first place, and where your load goes.

Oakland County has no publicly run landfill, so every container here goes to a company-run disposal site and the haul forms part of the quote rather than an extra at the end.
Weight does the heavy lifting on the invoice. Asphalt shingles are the local culprit: Farmington Hills roofs are large, and a second or third layer coming off a colonial will put a 20-yard container over its allowance before the walls are full. Plaster, tile and wet carpet behave the same way.
The curbside limits are the second thing that shapes a decision here. The city takes bundles only up to four feet and sixty pounds, caps drywall at thirty pounds a bag, and requires concrete removed from posts. On anything bigger than a small repair, that arithmetic is what makes a container the practical route rather than a nicety.
The road permit is a real cost when it applies. If the container has to sit in the right-of-way, the city charges $75 for a residential permit and $175 for a commercial one, plus refundable deposits. Keeping the container on your own driveway avoids it entirely, and that is usually possible here.
Size is the last lever, and the cheapest container is rarely the smallest. One extra haul costs more than one size up.

Volume picks the size and density checks the pick. Prime Dumpster carries five, and the city's own rules treat anything from a cubic yard upward as a dumpster.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the right call for dense material. A ripped-out patio, brick, soil or a tile floor hits the weight limit long before the container looks full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster suits a garage cleanout, one bathroom, or a tear-off on one slope of a Farmington Hills roof.
The 20-Yard Dumpster is the most common choice in Farmington Hills. A kitchen plus flooring, a finished basement being redone, or a full house cleanout each fit in one.
The 30-Yard Dumpster is the builder's size for additions, gut renovations and new homes, where framing offcuts, packaging and drywall accumulate through the week.
The 40-Yard Dumpster handles office strip-outs, commercial demolition and warehouse clearing, where the volume is high and the material is light.
Not sure which fits? Give your account manager the room count and the material and you will get one recommendation, not a list.
On private property, including your driveway or a fenced construction site, Farmington Hills requires no permit for a container. Keep it inside your lot lines and off the sidewalk and you are set.
If any part of the container will stand in a city road or the land either side of it, that is work inside the right-of-way, and the city issues a single permit for it. The form is written as a permit to construct, operate, use, maintain or temporarily close a city road within the right-of-way, and the word use is what catches a container parked in the roadway.
The permit is handled by the Engineering Division of the Department of Public Services at 31555 West Eleven Mile Road, open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call 248-871-2560. The application doubles as the permit once it is approved, and it asks for the road name, a start and end date, a description of the activity, and proof of public liability, property damage and workers' compensation cover for the whole term. The city can also order the object moved or removed at your expense if it needs the space.
Two Farmington Hills details catch people out. Many subdivisions here have active homeowner associations whose rules on where a container may sit, and for how long, are stricter than the city's, so check both. And on a business lot, the city requires an existing dumpster to be screened from adjacent properties and public streets, which can shape where a long-term container goes. Your account manager will square the delivery plan with the city, and with the association if there is one, before the truck is dispatched.
Most building and household debris is fine. The limits here come from the city's own rules and from the recycling authority's lists rather than from a long state table.
Hazardous waste and industrial special waste are excluded from the city's definition of solid waste altogether, so they are out of any container by definition. In practice that means paint, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals, full aerosol cans, wet asphalt sealer, cooking oil and batteries go to a household hazardous waste collection rather than into your container.
The city also bars disposing of waste inside the city by burial or dumping, and bars using it as fill. On a Farmington Hills tear-out that matters: broken concrete and soil cannot simply be buried in a back corner of the lot, even on your own land.
Electronics, polystyrene foam and household hazardous material are refused at the authority's recycling drop-off, so none of those should be mixed into a container on the assumption that they can be sorted out later.
Asbestos belongs nowhere in a container. On a house or a commercial building from before the mid-1980s, pipe wrap, floor tile mastic and some textured ceilings are worth testing before demolition begins.
Yard waste has its own seasonal route in Farmington Hills, running roughly from early April to mid-December, so leaves, grass and brush should stay out of a construction container.
If an item is not clearly on one side of the line, ask your account manager before it is loaded. One refused item can stall a whole load.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Farmington Hills has no publicly run landfill of its own and neither does this part of Oakland County, so a container load from the city travels to a privately run Michigan disposal site. We do not name company-run facilities here, and the destination is confirmed for you rather than assumed.
What the city does own a share of is the recycling route. Farmington Hills is a member community of the Resource Recovery and Recycling Authority of Southwest Oakland County, which it shares with Farmington, Novi, Southfield, South Lyon, Milford, Walled Lake and Wixom. The authority's recycling drop-off sits at 20000 West Eight Mile Road in Southfield, is free and open to the public during daylight hours seven days a week, and can be reached on 248-208-2270.
That matters to your bill. Cardboard, metal, clean glass and plastic containers pulled out of a cleanout before the container is hauled are diverted rather than weighed, and a load of clean concrete or soil can often be routed to a crusher instead of a landfill at a better rate. Your account manager confirms the destination and the weight allowance for your container before the truck leaves the hauler's yard.
Most Farmington Hills rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery arriving in a 24 to 48 hour window. A little notice gives you time to clear the spot and, if the road is involved, to get the city permit moving.
Use these tips for a smooth delivery:
Plan the last fill around the week as well. Private disposal sites in the metro run short Saturday hours and close on Sunday, so a container filled late on a Friday is usually hauled on Monday.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges delivery across Farmington Hills and the surrounding southwest Oakland County area, from Heritage Park and the Twelve Mile corridor out through Ramblewood, Kendallwood, the Northwestern Highway office district and the industrial sites off Haggerty Road. Addresses inside the City of Farmington, which Farmington Hills surrounds, are on the same route.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We will size the container, keep the placement on your own ground if we can, and give you a clear number on the call.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
A Farmington Hills rental runs $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container and up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard container on a five-day period. Disposal is charged by the ton and the haul leaves the county, so weight and material matter most. Your account manager confirms the included tonnage before the truck is dispatched.
A container wins in Farmington Hills once the job outgrows a pickup bed or two. Self-hauling here means repeated runs to a private transfer or landfill site, a charge at each visit, fuel and most of a day. The container stays at the work and leaves once.
Yes. A standard three-seat couch uses roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container, leaving room for a chair, a dresser and a stack of cartons. With furniture you run out of wall space well before the weight allowance matters.
Keep out hazardous waste and industrial special waste, which covers paint, solvents, fuel, pool chemicals, full aerosols, cooking oil and batteries. Asbestos, electronics and polystyrene foam stay out as well. Yard waste has its own seasonal route in Farmington Hills.
The 10-yard container is our lowest starting point at $399 to $499. It stays cheapest only for light debris or for dense material kept in a haul of its own. A multi-layer shingle tear-off in a small container is the classic way to run into overage charges.
Three days normally bills at the standard five-day rate, because the cost sits in the delivery, the disposal and the pickup rather than in the calendar. Tonnage is the variable. Ask your account manager what weight is included and what each additional ton costs.
Lumber, drywall, shingles, siding, windows, flooring, doors, cabinets, carpet, furniture, cardboard and general cleanout junk are all accepted here. Clean concrete and brick go in too and are often cheaper in a load of their own. Check unusual items with your account manager before they are loaded.
